JOHNNIE WALKER® BLUE LABEL, the leading luxury Blended Scotch Whisky*, is set to showcase the short film; The Gentleman’s Wager starring award winning actors Jude Law and Giancarlo Giannini, during the Venice Film Festival on the 27th August 2014.
The 6 minute film by British director Jake Scott, tells the story of a wager between two men striving for personal progress through the quest for a truly rare experience. ‘The Gentleman’s Wager’ sees Law in the role of a man who, despite having it all, challenges himself to strive for something he wants that money can’t buy.
Commenting on his role and involvement in the film, Law says: “The film is about improvement and progress and this is something I try to do in my work and my everyday life. I had to learn new skills shooting this film and that combined with the locations we visited and working with Jake and with Giancarlo, made the whole process a truly rare experience.”
Jude Law, Giancarlo Giannini and director Jake Scott will present the latest film from JOHNNIE WALKER® BLUE LABEL at the first day of Venice Film Festival as part of an exclusive screening followed by a press conference and whisky tasting with selected media.
Later that evening the leading actors and director will attend a drinks reception to celebrate the release on the terrace of the Westin Europa Regina Hotel, attended by fellow actors, actresses, and industry influencers.
As part of the celebrations, Erik Lorincz, previous winner of Diageo Reserve World Class™* bartender of the year, has created ‘The Gentleman’s Wager‘ cocktail which will be served on the night. The show-stopping signature serve, is made up of JOHNNIE WALKER® BLUE LABEL™, sherry, peychauds bitters and poire williams eau de vie, served beautifully in a Johnnie Walker crystal tumbler.
